I had a miscarriage 12 days ago, but I didn't go to the doctor. I have had 4 miscarriages in the last 2 years. I have only one child. After so many misarriages, I thought I would just see if it would pass on its own to avoid another hospital bill, but this seems to be the most difficult one I've had. I'm bleeding a dark red color, but the worst is the back pain. I am having extreme back pain and it's not going away. Also I'm very weak when I stand up and I start to feel sick. I know the obvious thing to do is go to the doctor but in the mean time I was hoping someone might know if this may be normal. Thanks.

Hi - I more than likely am going through a m/c right now - see my other thread about Doc not diagnosing yet. I had another blood test today and will see him this Friday - but he said IN THE MEANTIME - if you experience EXTREME back pain, heavy bleeding and if you feel your WELL BEING is being threatened to go to the ER immediately... he said then it would indicate an ECTOPIC pregnancy....
I would not wait - this back pain you are having sounds from your post to be out of the realm of normal and since it is persistant and extreme it sounds like immediate attention is necesssary....
Hope that you get the care you need right now and good luck - pls take care of yourself.
